'Activity for LIFE' is an Exercise Referral programme promoting a more Healthy and Active Lifestyle. The programme is targeted at inactive adults over the age of 18 years, who can be referred for health related problems where exercise can benefit their condition.

Referral is via Knowsley GP's who are signed up to the Activity for Life programme.
Patients will have an Identified Activity Rating:
1. Those with no major health concerns but lacking in exercise
2. Those with minor health concerns which can be monitored by the 'Activity for LIFE' Advisor within the leisure centre
3. Those patients with major health concerns which require constant supervision of the 'Activity for LIFE' Advisor, such as ischaemic heart disease, diabetes with complications, chronic respiratory condition, post operative and othopaedic conditions (e.g. severe back pain, prosthesis)
Referrals are only accepted for those patients not already taking part in regular exercise.
